Re: Saudis to retain 40,000 clerics
It is common knowledge, that Saudi Arabia, like a lot of other Muslim/Arab Countries right now has prisoners of faith and have their own people, including Imams and students of knowledge detained under some conditions. Mainly, the pressure has been from the West. Of course, with a lot of Saudi society being conservative, there will always be clash between the government and the people. So I'm not suprised that they have taken up these measures, to 're-train' Imams.
